NOTE: I'm not giving numbers of loops and picots for this finish, because you could all have a different number, having stopped at different places.

ROW 1: Turn, ch5, sc [dc], into next sp, ch5, sc into next sp, repeat, to point,at ch2 point, sc [dc], ch5, sc [dc], into ch2 point, repeat ch5, sc into next sp to end, last sc [dc] goes into the sp between last 2sts.

ROW 2: Turn ch5, sc [dc], into first ch5 loop, repeat to end, Finish with a sl st into first ch st of the loop below

repeat the ch5 loops and sc sts to end of row, finish with a sc [dc] in last ch5 loop.

ROW 4:turn, 3sc [3dc], into first ch5 loop, make a picot of ch3, sl st into the sc [dc], to complete the picot, making a tiny bobble,2sc [2dc], into the same ch5 loop, to complete the first picot detail, repeat in every ch5 loop to end

NOTE: Again no numbers of points as you could all have a different number, but you should all have an odd number of granny shells not and even number for this finish

And then there were two...

Bead N Bezel Necklace

PATTERN:

4mm hook

Stylecraft Batik used for this particular necklace but you could use any dk or 4ply

About 9 beads make a good size necklace but yo can make as many as you need. DK yarn or finer but the finer the yarn the more sc [dc], you will need to do to fill the finger wrap.

finger wrap of 10 wraps

ROUND 1: 14sc [14dc], into the finger wrap, sl st to complete.

ROUND 2: Cover the first 14sc [14dc], with 33sc [33dc], approx. another two rounds, sl st to complete, cut off and weave in end.

ROUND 3: Att bezel yarn in any st, 2sc [2dc], in every st, this can vary by 1 or 2sts, on each bead, no need to count them it isn't that important they are all identical.

ROUND 3: Second bead, 2sc [2dc], into half of the sts, again its approx. then do 2sc [2dc] into one extra sts, approx 18 cont. [36sc (36dc)]

ROUND 3: Cont. to do 1 or 2sts, more than half of each bead until you reach the last bead.

CHAIN CORD: ch approx, 60sts, longer or shorter if you require. be careful not to swist the necklace.

Att. ch, cord to the first bezel at approx half way,with a sl,

Return along the ch, on the side of the unfinished beads, 1sc [1dc], in each st

when you reach the first unfinished bead n bezel, continue with the 2sc [2dc], in each st, of first bead

when you reach the next bead sl st around the joining st.

Continue with 2sc [2dc], in every st, and sl st, on the joining sts, until you reach the first completed bezel, sl around the joining st, leave a long end to sew off securely.

The Bead N Bezel necklaces can be made in a selection of colours or in just one colour.

A doughnut for a button,

A Gem...fill the hole completely about 50-60+ sc [dc].

NOTE: How many sts you need will depend on your tension the figures are a guide, but all your button or Gems need to me made the same, so after the first one, make all buttons and Gems with the same number of sc [dc]

cut off and leave a long end for sewing

place a Gem inside the cup bezel pulling end through the middle of the bezel,

the gem should sit snug inside the bezel,
